This man is a sadhu, a Hindu wandering monk who has renounced all worldly possessions to devote himself to a life in pursuit of spiritual liberation. It was a hand-held shot in the busy streets of Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world.

I took this photograph in the mangrove colonies of Neil island in Andamans. The local people gather to catch fishes in the crystal clear water pockets held by corals during low tide when the ocean recedes. Their catch would be served as lunch for their families.

I met this young Hindu priest in a school in Varanasi. Everyday before sunrise they convene on the ghat steps in front of the school for a session of yoga and morning prayer by the holy river Ganges.
I met him at a village called Laripora, a little outside Pahalgam., I found a school just by the stream Lidder. The kids, who had just come out after an exam, were in very high spirits. They mobbed me instantly and I spent an hour with them, chatting and clicking.
I met this little monk in Lingdum monastery in Sikkim on a rainy gloomy afternoon. He enjoyed being clicked by me and yelped with joy when I showed him his photo in my LCD.
